A woman who broke her fast thinking the mu'adhdhin had called the Maghrib prayer, but it turned out he had not; what is required of her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: A woman broke her fast thinking the mu'adhdhin had called the Maghrib prayer, but it turned out he had not. What is required of her?

The Shaykh:
She must make up the fast, because she did not complete the day. She rushed and did not complete the day, and mere suspicion is not sufficient. She is in a country where she hears the mu'adhdhins or sees the setting of the sun; this is not sufficient.

The questioner:
He says: And is she compared to a forgetful person, such that she is excused on that basis?

The Shaykh:
No, no, she is not forgetful. This is intentional. This is intentional, like drinking and eating. Yes.
